I juiced a whole one once. Not very pleasant... Left this weird bitter/dry aftertaste. I think if you peel all the outer skin off you'll be fine with throwing it in with the pithey bits.

Citrus juicers work a charm with pomegranates btw :)

Here is something I found. Not sure if it would have the same effect if juiced though.

"Pipes should not be swallowed while eating the fruit. This will have bad effect in the intestines and may cause appendicitis." http://www.womenhealthandbeauty.com/homeandfood/pomegranate.html

That's true but the oil inside the pips is amazing for you if you somehow manage to extract it. Don't swallow the pips, completely non digestible but i suppose one of those malgamating (is that what they are called?) juicers which could also do wheat grass juice, would do the trick.

Check this baby out, I really want one :)

Wow, that's a cool juicer. I never thought of juicing a pomegranate like that. TBH, I have always avoided them because they were a pain to de-seed. Using a citrus juicer makes a whole lotta sense. Thanks....you just expanded my food choices.

It would be a real shame to miss out on this amazing fruit, the antioxidants in it are unreal, they are so high. In the top ten anti ageing foods I believe :)
It took me a while to get into them for the same reason but now I just juice one with my morning OJ, it's soooo good!

You had me at "anti aging foods"

The citrus juicer is the best. The other way I do it is crack open and drop all the little red bits of deliciousness into my blender and whatever white pieces fall in, so be it. Its pretty good too.

I drank a quart of fresh squeezed pomegranate orange juice today...

I'm so glad to see this post--they look so beautiful all in season, but the last time I added those beautiful little seeds to my smoothie, my kitchen looked like a murder had happened!
